South Carolina S0048 proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to ensure that equality of rights under the law must not be denied or abridged on account of sex. This amendment, if ratified by three-fourths of the states, would grant Congress the power to enforce this provision through appropriate legislation. The amendment would take effect two years after ratification. The bill also mandates that certified copies of the resolution be sent to the Archivist of the United States, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House upon enactment.
